S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 01/10/2026At Costco, I took a photo of these for my husband because it was way too many chips for a bit. 😂 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 30/09/2026Forced to mercy-kill her sister, snarky Ice Guard Mye Su (19) must follow her tracks across this piss-ice arctic moon & use concealed disabilities to speak w/ sentient fungi, risking the human coalition's rejection, or they’ll all be a hot meal for a reawakened super predator. #DVPIT #DIS #A #NA #SF 000
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 30/09/2026After mercy-killing her sister, 19yo Ice Guard Mye Su must follow her tracks deep into their arctic moon's interior & use her concealed disabilities to communicate w/ sentient fungi, risking the human coalition's rejection, or they’re a reawakened super predator’ hot meal. #DVPit #DIS #A #NA #SF 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 28/09/2026Does ARCTIC RIFT MC Mye Su have wonky connective tissue, a hyper-sensitive nervous system, & energy crashes for overdoing it? Yes. Is she still a bad ass who can kill apex predators, keep her friends alive on their arctic moon’s tundra, & negotiate w/ sentient fungi? Also yes. #DVParty #DIS #SF 0110
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 27/09/2026This is how Pharnsworth would deal with pesky pineapples. Anything green must be chomped! Chomp! 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 27/09/2026#Caturday mood. I want a big fluffy tail to curl around my nose while cuddle up in the comfy bed. 050
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 13/09/2026Got this one from Wayfair a few years ago and it’s remained a hit. Very sturdy. The soft lounging areas come off and are machine washable. The litter box hider at the bottom is pretty great too. Even my big boy can fit inside. 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 10/09/2026After my agent unexpectedly retired, I'm back to searching for a new one. Kicking off the search by participating in #PitchDis @pitchdis.com. Who wouldn't want disabled action heroes and sentient fungi on an arctic moon? #SciFi 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 08/09/2026How am I supposed to get any writing done with this guy dragging his entire want toy around, meeping, making this face, and begging for MORE playtime? More more more! Meep, eep, mah! How, I ask you?! 030
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 05/09/2026This guy loves them too! If they have all manner of detritus in them, no problem. Will barf that out later. 171
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 04/09/2026Baby’s first cane! Recently learned I can’t take my hiking pole in my carry-on because of the ice tip under the rubber cap. So… Teal cane and little octopus friend. It’s actually way more comfortable than the pole, less vibrations up through my elbow. I’m very excited about it! 150
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 29/08/2026For #Caturday, Sploot will let you look at his glorious paw floof. But no touch! (Belly rubs are acceptable, however.) 082
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 26/08/2026Afternoon snack: corn dipper chips and Trader Joe’s vegan tzatziki, so I don’t have to take a lactase. Stupid lack of lactose-processing enzymes 😒 I also just got this pesto sheep cheese and because it’s aged and sheep, I can also eat it with a lactase! Herbs are the baaa-mb! (I’ll see myself out 👋) 120
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 08/08/2026International Cat Day and Caturday? Here is Fidget being the babiest of babies. To cut his nails, we distract him with beef baby food. He grabbed the pouch and, well, baby! 162
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 01/08/2026Fidget didn’t like being held when we first got him. Now, he insists on being held like a baby and wants to be as close to my face as possible. This is maybe a little too close though, buddy. (His face is blurry because he also likes to wash and gently nibble my chin.) #Caturday #cats 161
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 20/07/2026Husband and I finally finished this no-glue 3d model of the space shuttle! (We started it at Christmas 😅) 120
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 16/07/2026Here’s a fun tail fact about Tinker. His has stronger muscles than the average cat. When he does happy tail up, it curves over his back (📸1). Sometimes even touches it! Annoyed tail looks like tail up (📸2). It’s never quite at the right height or angle for what he’s saying. Miscommunications abound! 000
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 14/07/2026All those borrowed spoons finally caught up to me—which I do not have the time to replenish, but now have to make it. Even my skin hurts. Did not sleep last night because every position resulted in some sort of pain. Managed to fall asleep around 9am. And now…mushy brain. #fibromyalgia #ChronicPain 040
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 09/07/2026In addition to staring into the middle distance, Tinker prefers a “no thoughts, only blep” approach to solving that problem. 070
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 22/06/2026One of those weeks where a million things are poking my cPTSD/anxiety, fibromyalgia is fraying all my nerves, and I’m missing my little bestie, Pharnsworth 🌈, who would have tried to help me regulate through it all. My other cats are great, but not as emotionally intelligent or patient as he was. 💕🐾 250
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 21/06/2026Tinker was busy napping in a warming bed today because he is basically a desert cat 😂 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 21/06/2026Even though it’s #Caturday, Fidget was helping others all day. He pressed BIRD-FOOD on his button board to tell me the bird feeder was empty. (Didn’t talk about food again after I refilled it.) He also cuddled with me while I slept off a fibromyalgia flare. So did Sploot! Great catting today boys! 191
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 13/06/2026Sploot wants to remind everyone that even though it’s #Caturday, it’s good to chill out and take care of your friends if they aren’t up to shenanigans today. Thanks Sploot! 061
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 09/06/2026No advice to give, just solidarity. Maybe if you can get all the cats resting on your legs, purring? 🙃 020
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 06/06/2026Sun’s out! Fun’s out! Or is it sun’s out, tongue’s out? #Caturday 080
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 30/05/2026For #Caturday, Fidget shows off his high-speed chasing skills! (Cat wheel courtesy of his rescue because he was the only cat who’d ever used it 😂) Alt: a small mostly black tuxedo cat runs inside a large exercise wheel. He’s chasing a feather wand toy that he eventually catches and carries off. 140
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 28/05/2026Ok, Sploot must’ve heard about this thread because he decided to get in Fidget’s box today. No chewing on it, but he looks very guilty at getting caught. When brother is away, other brother will trespass in his box! 020
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 27/05/2026We know better than to mess with Fidget’s box/nest full of brown papers. He gets the papers changed out periodically, but he’s had the same box for half a year. Even his box-chewing brother knows not to gnaw on it—and he gnaws on ANYTHING cardboard. 160
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 16/05/2026Caturday milestone! Fidget (tux) used 2 buttons in a novel way to say what he didn’t have words for. Sploot (tabby) did a VERY smelly poop. Fidget started to ask for snacks, stopped, then deliberately pressed POOP HUG. I.e. poop smell is hugging (surrounding?) us? He wasn’t wrong! 😂💀 #FluentPet 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 02/05/2026My cats have been obsessed with this new “loud water” I’ve brought home. First time they’ve encountered fizzy water, as far as I know. Fidget especially sits and stares at it like it’s enlightening him on how to commit future crimes. May need to get him a tinfoil hat… #Caturday 061
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 25/04/2026Happy Caturday! Here is a look at Sploot’s Maybelline-worthy eyelashes! 020
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 11/04/2026Another Caturday post! The fruits of my cat-nail harvest. All 3 cats trimmed. They were needles! The trick to trimming without incident is one person trims with the cat on their lap and another person uses a pouch of beef stew baby food as a lick treat. They only get it for nail trims. They line up! 010
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 04/04/2026Haven’t done a Caturday post in a while. Life has gotten complicated. BUT we had our FIRST moment of all 3 cats in a cuddle puddle so I am taking the win! Sploot is always the social bridge for Tinker and Fidget, who plays too hard with the old man. See alt text for more details about their dynamic. 040
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 25/03/2026This little man shouts directly into our faces and stomps on our bodies to wake us up. He used to wait until we got up. The time changed but his internal clock did not. 080
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 17/03/2026Here are some sleepy kitties and some beautiful lake photos, one with bonus geese. 030
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 19/02/2026It’s my first night away since we got Fidget and Sploot. (Writing retreat.) When I texted home, husband told me Fidget has already been using his speech buttons to ask for me and he’s had to tell him “S.R. home later later later.” And oh my heart 🥰 030
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 01/02/2026Not feeling so great today. While I rest and catch up on some reading, Fidget used his buttons to ask for birds. Lately that means watching birds on an old iPad. We all have our hobbies! 😂 120
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 01/02/2026It’s a Caturday miracle!! Sploot and Tinker are having their first wash and cuddle! Grandpa Tinker still gets full use of the orthopedic warming bed though. 😂 070
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 25/01/2026Here is a large cat awkwardly laying with legs up, toe beans out, in a small bed, reminding you to eat, drink some water, cuddle your loved ones, and get some rest. 18917
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 23/01/2026Remembering Pharnsworth on his gotcha day—first one without him. He was the best cat and such an emotional support. Always took care of me when my fibromyalgia flared. I miss him everyday, even a year later. When I whispered this to him, he’d purr and knead so hard: “Pharnsworth, Sarah, besties.” 🌈 130
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 18/01/2026One day, Sploot will catch the wily “bug” that keeps making waves in the drinking fountain. So far he’s tried batting the water, pushing water into the water intake, sneaking up on the fountain when it’s running, and now exploring what’s happening behind the fountain. #Caturday (alt text +) 110
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 13/01/2026Gave Fidget a “bird” button to talk about birds he sees outside. Instead, he uses it to ask for birds on cat TV videos. When we watch TV, he also presses it. I’m pretty sure he now thinks watching TV is just called birds. 😅 I’m rolling with it and calling the difference his birds and our birds. 🤷♀️ 0123
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 03/01/2026Oh hey. It’s another shit show today. You already know all about it. So here’s a #Caturday post to give you a timeline cleanse: Sploot, a fluffy brown tabby, plays with his fav toy, a small, plastic, empty cat treat bag. He tosses it with glee, spinning in circles, and pounces it. 030
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 29/12/2025I hope it’s cool to ask here: do you have an anti-itch topical you like for cats? Taking Tinker to the vet tomorrow because the site of his ringworm infection from May looks infected again. 🤬 He’s been scratching at it and his head a lot the last 2 days. + 210
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 27/12/2025Here they are again, where Fidget tries to put his head back in the tissue box and Sploot bats him away from it. He’s done with this nonsense haha! 030
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 27/12/2025For Caturday. Fidget can take the box off anytime, and will put it back on if I take it off and he isn’t done with his game of “box head.” Sploot doesn’t like this game and will sometimes even scruff him to get him to stop. “It’s dangerous and weird, brother!” (Alt text follows +) 2113
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 25/12/2025This guy sang the song of his people until at least 3am last night. I’m not saying that was naughty, but bold move on Christmas Eve/Christmas. 👀 🥱😴 051
S.R. Lee (she/her) @srleeauthor.com · 25/12/2025Here’re Fidget and Sploot having fun doing our Christmas craft, AKA playing with paintbrushes—the best toys ever. Fidget is always stealing Sploot’s toys, so this is also classic cat sibling stuff haha! (Alt text next post) + 111
